Why do these things like to follow me home?
« on: August 27, 2016, 11:04:14 AM »
1975 CB750K. Runs very good and newer tires. Clean FL title. ..........But, it will not go into 4th and very clunky gears. But for $750 I think I did OK. ....right???  ???

Score.  Hope a couple oil changes makes the shifting problem go away!

 You did OK, I got a K2 and FnK7 recently. Not sure why, I never make money when I sell and they use up all of my time that could be spent on my 3 keepers. I have saved a few though.

I have the same problem Bill. Started off with 1 in 2009 and now I have 6 I think ??? Looks like it just needs some TLC. Hope the 4th gear issue turns out to be nothing major. Strange looking shocks on the rear though. Air shocks?

Yep , air shocks. "S&W" brand. Even a gauge up front for them.??
Now I see oil coming down the kick stand. I'll have to pull the chain cover and have a look later.

I had to replace a shifter shaft seal on one of my 750's a while back. That was causing oil to drip and get on kick stand. I think the K5 still had the automatic chain oilers, could be just excess oil from that also.
